Don't mean a toy drive (although great idea). More like supporting a family, food donations, etc. Suggestions?

There would be zero reason for them to target me to not send me a renewal. When I talked to them over the phone there was no reason other than "you have to come in to do it now". So who knows. Guess I'll find out when I visit.

I agree with this. The waitstaff wasn't very refined (I don't mean high end refined, I just mean the etiquette normally associated with someone serving you). It seemed brash and club-like (a place you could bring your rowdy co-workers for happy hour). The staff was sloppy with service, didn't pour the wine properly, neglected the table for long periods of time, then would over do coming to the table - it felt like they weren't trained, but they also all congregated at the end of the bar and talked amongst themselves as thought they were entertaining each other. I didn't go back. But if I ever had rowdy coworkers, loud clients or friends with children, I'd probably go there as I don't think anyone cares.
I was very surprised it was in the Top 10, it made me not trust the other reviews because my experience was nothing special. I wish they'd improve, it would be nice to have another place in that area.

Who are these idiot city workers with zero judgment on the logical place to put the stop sign? Meaning - do your job and place it at the intersection but then DO YOUR JOB by realizing where it needs to be in order to be seen. (Like the poster below saying it wasn't properly visible to start with). It reminds me of the idiot city workers who didn't give a rats ass about paining white lines on the streets and painted the white line over a pile of leaves because they were too lazy to move the leaves. Judgement goes far.

I received no renewal, no registration, nothing in the mail. Are you saying you have to pick up the registration now? Isn't that going completely backwards? I'm so confused. I moved last fall and my vehicle registration expired this April. So even the excuse they may have mailed it to the wrong address (when I had address forwarding for 8 months) it should have happened considering I went to the DMV and changed my address in February. Lucky for me, I have garage parking and wasn't using my vehicle for much so would never be parked where I would have got a ticket - but I'm so used to receiving renewal in the mail, doing all the work online, paying online and receiving the renewal in the mail - it came as a huge surprise to notice my registration had expired.

The same thing happened to me. I'm vigilant on these things. Went to get my annual vehicle inspection, went in to the car and realized my registration was expired. I just assumed I hadn't put the new one in the car, checked my files and learned I had in fact never received a renewal notice. I phoned and they said that although I diligently changed my address in time they sent it to my old address and they don't, and I quote, "do return mail" and there is no way to rectify except in person. I now can't drive my vehicle until I make it to the DMV. Ironically I was there doing my address change and would have happily got my registration at the same time....odd. Can't do any of it by mail, or online.

Used PATH train Saturday to and from Christopher Street and it was frequent, not painfully slow as usual on the weekend (thanks to the WTC closures it actually was excellent service from JSQ to 33rd). It wasn't overcrowded. I wish it worked this well every weekend - even the stop in Hoboken wasn't painful because we weren't squished like sardines.

I'd say insecure Trolls are equally so. I appreciate those who give patronage to local restaurants and in doing so may consider themselves foodies. Bravo. Keep bringing money in to local establishments. If you are insecure and "pretentious" is the first word that comes to mind, you need to resolve some issues for yourself. But do it at a local restaurant over some great food. Cheers.

It's a predator scam. There was an article on NJ.com about this a year ago. Had this happen with my crap car that fits a dog and a kid in it and has more scratches and dents than car. When they said, "I can fix that" I'm like, "the entire car? are you buying me a new one?".

Don't pick and choose. Then see how easy it is to have prejudice to just gay people. It will be hard to leave the house! Love is love. I sincerely and with all my heart hope your children turn out gay. Then you'll appreciate all you want for them is the same as straight children. For them to be healthy, happy and love someone, have the same rights as everybody, get the same benefits, be able to see their loved one in the hospital, not be discriminated against, not be exposed to bigotry or ignorance, be able to exercise their rights overall, go to church, etc., etc. Are you African American? If so, are you going to forget your history? I'm sure hypocrite's don't go to heaven either. Those who hide behind religion and fear they won't get in to heaven because they "sinned"? I've got news for you, the world is flat too. Please don't respond. I won't take anything you say to heart. Not one single word. I had to edit this so much, my anger and frustration had me spell a sh*t load wrong. Sigh.

I live near Jersey Avenue. When I step out of my home to cross Jersey Ave. and Erie to purchase cream for our morning coffee? We joke that I'm taking my life in to my own hands. It's only two streets, one with a crosswalk, and yet, the vehicles driving to work with zero interest in yielding to a pedestrian? I wait, and wait and wait, I step out to be seen, I wait...it's unbelievable the amount of almost hits I've endured over six years. I've been skimmed by cars (where I've been able to touch their windshield as they speed by ignoring me on the crosswalk), I've jumped out of the way - to think all I have to do is cross two intersections to purchase an item at a bodega and I'll think twice about doing it because of safety concerns...I don't need to jaywalk as there are crosswalks everywhere...but no vehicle ever, ever, ever, EVER stops at one to let me cross.

In the past there has been an entire system of corruption and pay off's in that department. Remember the FBI takedown? I know first hand they have the balls to expect they don't need to do their job until money passes hands. I'm guessing they prioritize based on their fat envelopes and favors.
Even after one of the FBI takedowns they were still lining their pockets! All here say of course, wink, wink. I think delays are way of building frustration so you'll realize that there "must be another way" and you give in to the passing of $$. I have a fantasy if I win a billion dollars I'd be willing to hire someone and make their full time job investigating and suing the Permit offices/Buildings Department and exposing them to every media outlet, I'd have a PR person whose only job would be to send out news releases on their corruption and dysfunction. But then again, the talons run far and deep in New Jersey, I'd need several billion....Ah neurotic fantasies!

How fast this degrades to the lowest common denominator complaint. C'mon JC list, get outside and enjoy the sunshine. I hope the cyclists family doesn't read JC list and I wish her a speedy recovery and hope they catch the irresponsible driver. Perhaps we can save the debate on bikers on sidewalks for another whiny thread and keep this one supporting the cyclist hit by a car.
